King Crimson were the only really famous band I'd been in.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I listened to a lot of King Crimson back in the day.
Touring with King Crimson wasn't a lot of fun for me. I had a lot of equipment, and when I was in improvised music I'd set it up myself, play the gig, and put it all away again.
The rise of King Crimson was so fast that, to me, it felt as if it was going out of control. And it was going so fast that I couldn't keep up with what was happening.
I was playing in other rock bands. Any of those bands didn't last long.
Even before coming into the industry, I was a big fan of Motown, the Jackson 5, Gladys Knight, the Temptations, Diana Ross and The Supremes.
I would've loved to have been in a band, but sadly I just wasn't good enough.
I feel so lucky to have been in a group where it was a real band. This wasn't a singer and guitar player and some other guys.
I was more influenced by players like Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen than by the guys in southern rock bands.
King Crimson will soon be touring parts of Europe.
When I left Van Halen, I went in the studio and made a CD called Marching to Mars with all studio musicians. I did it immediately. With the disappointment riding on my shoulders of the breakup of the band.
